Nuestro detective romano Falco vuelve a Roma y se pone al servicio de Silio Itálico y Pacio Africano, dos abogados de creciente fama y riqueza en la capital del Imperio sobre cuyos métodos (que incluyen el chantaje) circulan todo tipo de rumores. El hallazgo del cadáver del senador Rubirio Metelo, es el primer caso que cae en manos de Falco, pero, parece que los dioses vuelven a confabularse para ninguna de las investigaciones de nuestro detective sea fácil o simple. Además, como no, su familia tendrá papel importante en esta obra. Marcus Didius Falco is the Ancient Roman version of a private investigator; and in this novel, returns from assignments abroad in Britain to re-build his practice. This involves some legal scut work; but leads to a case in which a suicide is called into question, and at which estates and considerable compensation are at stake. Lindsey Davies' novels are well researched, focus on Vespasian's reign (AD 70s); and usually have a bit of humor in them. This time though, her usual style seems to be a little lacking, reducing this to a more straightforward what happened/whodunnit. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fiction.
Mystery.
Historical Fiction.
Fresh from his trip to Britain, Marcus Didius Falco needs to re-establish his presence in Rome. A minor role in the trial of a senator entangles him in the machinations of two real life lawyers at the top of their trade. The senator is convicted, but then dies, apparently by suicide. It may have been a legal move to protect his heirs, but Falco is hired to prove it was murder. As Falco shows off his talents in the role of advocate, he exposes himself to a tangle of upper-class secrets and powerful elements in Roman law that may have consequences he hadn't quite bargained for.
